Denver Wins Legal Battle Against Trump Administration
Denver Wins Legal Battle Against Trump Administration
Published on March 31, 2026
Mayor Mike Johnston today celebrated a victory against the Trump Administration, which sued Denver and Colorado in an attempt to overrule local immigration policies.
In May 2025, the Trump Administration sued the City and County of Denver as well as the State of Colorado to compel both bodies to assist with President Trump's immigration deportation scheme. A judge ruled today that the federal government has no such power to do so and dismissed the Trump Administration's lawsuit.
"Denver will always stand for safe communities and accountable government," said Mayor Mike Johnston. "Today's ruling makes clear that we cannot be required to use local resources to enforce federal policies. And instead of being bullied by President Trump, we will continue to do what we do best in making our neighborhoods safer, strengthening trust with the community, and delivering for Denver families."
Denver has filed five lawsuits and five amicus briefs against the Trump Administration to preserve Congressionally appropriated funding, push back against National Guard and ICE deployments in cities, protect reproductive rights, and preserve the city's values around equity, diversity, and immigration.
